The whole fanfic ecosystem is quietly dying now. Everything new is AI slop, and there seems to be no coming back from it.

What you described works when you have small repo with a few developers. Unfortunately the trend nowadays is towards giant monorepos with many many people changing random things.

Any American within a good distance of a large city to mitigate latency issues can make about 4-5x driving for Uber or delivering food. And latency to small towns in the middle of nowhere is not significantly better than latency to Philippi

This makes sense. We'd be seeing a lot more supernovas in the night sky if all/most stars had to go through one.

> bring over Christianity there Yes, this covers about a thousand years of European history. It's funny to see people pretending not to know the history of spreading Christianity and subsequently colonialism.

You'll see that none of these things are banned unilaterally. Interestingly, there are autocratic governments who do try to ban vague things. The goal there is selective enforcement, not good public policy.

Good policy in my opinion.

Why are you commenting here instead of a website that gatekeeps commenters?

That works great when everyone has resources to pay for things online. In practice, this cuts of 80% of the worlds population.

What counts as an advertisement? What about a testimonial? If you try to regulate this, everything will be an ad in disguise. In my opinion, that's the direction we are heading towards with AI anyway. I'm surprised we haven't

They'd need one more thing, a time machine. TSLA market cap was about 50B for the first several years of their FSD effort. I think they'd choose lidar if they started now.

Here's how it works in some C++ libraries. struct resource { resource(ctx *c, ...) {index = c->store(...); ...;} size_t index; ctx *c; ~resource() {c->free(index);} // copy constructor+op creates

This is a somewhat simplistic view of ownership and borrowing for modern programming languages. Pointers are not the only 'pointer's to resources. You can have handles specific to your codebase or system, you can have indices to o

Because you are not prepared for the poverty that follows from an economy stalling.

This logic would fly a couple of years ago. Since then, we have seen indiscriminate violence against people and families following the rules. And a bizzare hate campaign against H1B. And court judgements explicitly enabling masked governmen

Here's a potential bug report, but maybe it comes down to the resolution. There seems to be some missing data here when it comes to the north face of most Himalayan peaks (for example: Annapurna). I am willing to believe looking south

This has been a well integrated feature in cursor for six months. As a rule of thumb, almost every solution you come up with after thirty seconds of thought for a online discussion, has been considered by people doing the same thing for a l

This is so cool! Fun fact, Tiny C Compiler was derived from such a C compiler submitted to the the International Obfuscated C Code Contest. https://www.ioccc.org/2001/bellard/index.html

And this is exactly why coding with AI is not-so-slowly taking over. Most people think they are more capable than they actually are.

Yes, clang is famously in this category. If you copy the clang binary to a random place in your filesystem, it will fail to compile programs that include standard headers.
